So, what are the differences between B/W versions that you'd like to see?

To start off with, I think we should see different pokemon for each game. However, I'd like to see a lot of older pokemon be split up between the games - for example, there are PLENTY of fish for the sea (so to speak), such that it shouldn't be a problem to run into 4+ different things surfing in the ocean, with half of them being game-specific. I'd like to see ~ 5 Generation 5 pokemon exclusive to each game (not counting evolved forms), and as much as 50 generation 4 or previous pokemon exclusive to each game. For example, let's say there's a bug catching contest in this region. I'd like the kinds of bugs you can get on Black to be mostly, if not wholly, different than on White. I mean, come on... there are PLENTY of bugs out there.

Next, I'd like to see berries exclusive to given games (I don't know if this has been done before). It'll make planting berries and trading them more strategic. Of course I'm not asking for NEW berries... but I guess they could squeeze some more out of that concept.

One thing I'd really like is if certain pokemon had different movesets between the two games. For example, I imagine two pokemon - each with equal base attack and sp. attack stats. Black would have pokemon A, White pokemon B. On Black, A + B learns top notch "attack" moves, while on White they learn top notch "special attack" moves. Of course, you could trade between games to mix and match (but, really, generally speaking you stick to attack or sp. attack and don't mix). I suppose all the moves would be breedable, but for example on white A would learn firebreathing naturally, while on B it would learn fire blitz naturally.

I'd like to see several old pokemon get similar "Black = attack, white = sp. attack" (or visca versa) moves - although for the most part, I imagine these to be moves they learn early and might forget. For example, maybe Chimchar on Black at level 6 could learn ember, while on white it can learn "physical attack ember"... you wouldn't keep the move when you leveled up, but it'd be strategically important and different early in the game. Now they COULD do an "ultimate move" that's exclusive to each game (again, preferably attack VS sp. attack using move), such that to get both moves (if you wanted, which you probably wouldn't) you could either breed between games or trade one over to other and relearn the old move on that game. [Speaking of breeding between games - I think you should be able to do this. Maybe if you enter a special wifi room under the daycare; or maybe you can "drop something off" in the wifi room (leaving you with only 5 pokemon when you battle), and if you get an egg it's sent to a special sprite that appears in the pokecenter, kind of like how you get mystery gifts.

I think it'd be neat if they do version-exclusive areas. For example, maybe on one game you get a ticket to "Ice Island", and on the other you get a ticket to "Fire Island"... of course, they'd probably do a wifi event to give you the other ticket or have it unlockable for something that big. However, they could have different, minor-version exclusive areas. For example, maybe Black has a "Charcoal Refinery" while White has a "Water Refinery" - in each you'd find fire or water exclusive Tms, charcoal VS mystic Water, and etc. I'm not saying they'd be cheap, but they'd be cool. Maybe they could each have a move-tutor (moves would be breedable, of course...).

I could also see a "Verison-exclusive 2nd Rival", probably a misc. villian, who happenstancely has the 3rd starter, but appart from that whose pokemon are vastly different on-theme. For example, Black could have all-other dark pokemon, white could have all-other psychic pokemon. Maybe you could unlock the other guy via event, but only their final team.

I'd also like to see version-exclusive gift/egg pokemon. For example, I'd sort of like to see someone on black give you the option of generation 3 starters after you beat the game, while on white they could give you generation 4 starters. An event could unlock them giving you generation 1 and generation 2 respectively...
Similarly, I'd be okay with getting 1 pokemon (version specific?) in an egg on black, and a different one on white. I'm on record as saying it's be "neat" if your starter, early on, "bred" with a previous generation starter (sucks if you got a female?) that it's compatible with - maybe Black could have a given set of 3 old starters (1 for each element), while white could have a different set of 3 (again, 1 for each element).

I'd also like to see all "in-game trades" be version specific - IE, in one you'll trade for a Pidgey, in the other you'll get a Starly. There are enough pokemon out there that are functionally similar that it wouldn't unballance the games. [On this note, it'd be nice if a semi-random pokemon is generated at the beginning of the game to be traded to you at some point after you beat the elite 4... maybe something in the first 140 or so range... ]

wow thats alot to think about but I dont think they will do it that way, you can hope though. It would certainly encourage more trading, so maybe Nintendo will do something like that. also what about different Events for Black/ White some are for black some for white. however this might be a problem as not everyone will buy both games, its an idea though, i dont think they will ever do that.

I whole-heartedly agree with being able to visit different places in each game.
Obvioulsy, plot points and Gym Towns would be the same; but caves, routes and maybe some islands/towns or something would be different.

Or maybe some Gym towns would be different?
They could easily pull this off. Zelda's been doing it for years.

Yeah...& based simply off the premise that I am not buying the fact that the versions up to HGSS were really any different then each other except for maybe Ruby & Sapphire...I need to see more of a difference between the games & what better to change without effecting too much then the available locations or the look of those locations for each version differently...

NONE of this is likely to ever happen (again in some cases) in the entire pokemon franchise

this

i do like some of the ideas, about the different coloration ideas for the outfit (and i'm glad someone finally agrees about the custom clothing). however, i disagree with the different balls for each version. it would have to be aesthetic or realease animation specific only, as if it was function, then you'd see people complaining about it...
the plot points thing makes sense, as ruby/sapphire was the only one, with the diff being land v. water. even then, though, it would have been cooler if say, the team succeeded (gasp) and you have to go find the pokemon of your version (i'll go with this example being sapphire; magma uses groudon to make more land, and you have to go find kyogre to restore the balance). i know that's kinda backwards/weird, but it's something.
what i would like to see:
1. different animations for pokemon
2. i want different teams to return; let's face it, magma and aqua were awesome (though not remotely evil...)
3. different gym layouts/teams/trainers for each version.
and some of the stuff mentioned by others.

@ rex09 = I agree with your (1.) a little & your (3.) alot &...about my suggestion for a different version exclusive PokeBall, 1 for each version...I don't want the PokeBall to actually work any different depending on the version, just want it to look different Artwork & maybe even special effects wise...like the Black Version one could have a black & gray color scheme to it & have maybe black lightning effects when releasing & returning the pokemon to & from it respectively & the White Version one could have a white & yellow or white & sky blue(I don't know) color scheme to it & have maybe a sky blue invigorating light effect when releasing & returning the pokemon to & from it respectively (these are just examples which I'm sure if they went ahead & went forward with this would be way better then I'm talking about maybe...)

yeah, that makes sense. i was thinking along the same lines.
you know, maybe if they change the storylines up a little between the two, they could each have two exclusive legends. only one mascot, but maybe a couple of legends for each (like if we remade d/p in this manner, dialga/giratina and palkia/other-that-is-similar-to-giratina). they don't both have to be part of the story, but it could work...
so, how come you didn't like #2?? that one was my favorite (though i didn't really like how one helped you, and the other was against; i just liked two teams, two legends against each other). plus, it was one of the reasons i liked hoenn so much...

Tbh rex09, I liked 2. but not as much as the other 2 I mean yes I would love if they brought back multiple bad guy teams but I myself hated dealing with Team Aqua/Magma cause Diving was **** & boring & they weren't emphasized enough in regards to their pokemon, story differences or even their methods which were the same(booo)...I would want the teams this time to fix all of this or no thank you I mean I like having more bad guys but I actually want to have more bad guys, not people that are just there to help me beat the greater of 2 evils, that doesn't translate in Pokemon games well to me...

yeah, i get what you're saying (tho personally i liked diving, but i can understand where it would be incredibly tedious to some, not to mention unrealistic). yeah, maybe we could have our character get mixed up in a fight between two of the teams, like between galactic and rocket. but which version of the game you get decides which team you eventually help/side with... but then that would bring back problems with one helping, the other hurting... So this'll probably be yin/yang stuff, rite?? i wonder what the bad guys'll do this time around...

what i would like to see:
1. different animations for pokemon
2. i want different teams to return; let's face it, magma and aqua were awesome (though not remotely evil...)
3. different gym layouts/teams/trainers for each version.
and some of the stuff mentioned by others.

1. I don't like this idea... mainly because I'd rather they put this effort elsewhere. However, it's not unlikely.
2. I don't like the idea of different teams... BUT, I *DO* like the idea of different rivals. For example, maybe there's different a "team rocket" rival per game - and you can unlock the rival's final team and the other thing late in the game.
3. Different trainers? I don't see why they need to do this. However, I am an advocate of "custom" trainers - specifically those who you trade pokemon too. I want them to raise the pokemon you traded (in relationship to how many steps you walk) and face you again w/ that pokemon later in the game.
I also want different in-game trades per game, and more "general" trades like "I'd like any water pokemon for my magmar", etc.

I would really like to see a slightly different story line. they did it in Ruby and Saphire (team magam/aqua) which i liked, it wasn't too different but not too similar. Maybe some of the version exclusive pokemon could tie in to this. Like lets say Pokemon White has team sky (flying-type) and pokemon Black has team earth (ground-type) so then a pokemon white exclusive pokemon could be Ice-type, and black could have a grass-type.

If they added a Battle Revolution style outfit customiser, I would be very happy. You could buy the clothes at the Department Store in Isshu.

lol i don't have that kind of patience, so i'm just gonna go with white as i like zekrom better. now, if you can get both in both games (doubtful) and black has better version-exlusives, then i'm gonna go for it. but i think this time around, unless i just really like the plot, i'll probably just get one of them. but i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Glad you agree. Then you wouldn't have to battle clones of yourself if a same-gendered friend of yours has the same game. XD
